Formatting as of 2023
The formatting guidelines above are out of date. Please use the following. I am in the process of updating all pages to match.

Header, left page #

Header, right page Rh

Poem title POEM TITLE HERE

Poem body

Use   for main stanzas. Use   for indents.

First words (capitalized, drop initial) should be written thus: HE CAPITALIZED

For the smaller introductory stanzas that precede some poems, the only formatting I have found that works is:

But by all means suggest something more elegant.

 * This looks good. When there are multiple indents, should we use  or something else? Cremastra (talk) 18:33, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * To avoid confusion: inside a ppoem one should generally use  rather than gap for indentation (some lines are actually right-aligned rather than very indented, and can be done using  ). And those introductory stanzas can be done using ppoem too, just with a custom class name and styling in Help:Page styles. If the only custom formatting is smaller block you can even just use the pre-defined class . Xover (talk) 14:33, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, some if not many of the validated pages don't use ppoem at all, they use the older layout (at the top of the page). Cremastra (talk) 21:56, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
